Gerd's apartment is in a safe building in a fun part of Bangkok, close to three different train stations and multiple restaurants, bars and 7/11s. We loved the pool and gym as well. Our taxi driver had a tough time getting to the apartment with the protests going on, but we managed to go around another way and eventually arrive.

You get what you pay for with the apartment. Not very large, but a functional space. Nice TV, kitchen, and good-sized bathroom. The washer and dryer were a nice perk as it's hard to find dryers in this part of the world.

The bed was a little firm and there are just a few blankets - no comforter that we could find. Not a big deal since it was hot outside. Also, the shower leaked so we were constantly drying towels as the bathroom floor was soaked every time we showered.

Our biggest issue was that we found multiple bugs while staying there. They were small and harmless, but quite a nuisance at times.
